PHP directory navigation

Hi

Can some one help me achieve the following in php

this is what to do.

1) give my php program a directory where there are a bunch of php files.
2) taking each of these files at a time, i want to run php -l against it so that i can catch if there are any syntax errors in the file.
3)I want to print out the names of the files for which php -l failed and maybe send an email

pseudo code

1. go to dir

2. for all files in dir do

php -l filename.php

3. if php -l failed log the name of the file in a report or send an email right away.

The attached script will report which php scripts have errors.

You can run it with or without a path as the first and only parameter.

It requires PHP5 (for the SPL DirectoryIterator).

If no path is supplied, the current path is used.

<?php
$s_Location = isset($argv[1]) && strlen($argv[1]) > 0 ? $argv[1] : '.';
foreach(new DirectoryIterator($s_Location) as $o_Entry) {
	if ('.php' == strtolower(substr($o_Entry, -4))) {
		if ('No syntax errors detected in ' . $o_Entry !== ($s_Error = exec('\php\php.exe -l ' . $o_Entry))) {
			echo $s_Error, PHP_EOL;
		}
	}
}

To make it send an email ... (untested).

<?php
$s_Location = isset($argv[1]) && strlen($argv[1]) > 0 ? $argv[1] : '.';
$s_Errors = '';
foreach(new DirectoryIterator($s_Location) as $o_Entry) {
	if ('.php' == strtolower(substr($o_Entry, -4))) {
		if ('No syntax errors detected in ' . $o_Entry !== ($s_Error = exec('\php\php.exe -l ' . $o_Entry))) {
			$s_Errors .= $s_Error, PHP_EOL;
		}
	}
}
 
mail('me@work.com', 'PHP lint failures', $s_Errors);

Ha! I said untested!

<?php
$s_Location = isset($argv[1]) && strlen($argv[1]) > 0 ? $argv[1] : '.';
$s_Errors = '';
foreach(new DirectoryIterator($s_Location) as $o_Entry) {
	if ('.php' == strtolower(substr($o_Entry, -4))) {
		if ('No syntax errors detected in ' . $o_Entry !== ($s_Error = exec('\php\php.exe -l ' . $o_Entry))) {
			$s_Errors .= $s_Error . PHP_EOL;
		}
	}
}
 
mail('me@work.com', 'PHP lint failures', $s_Errors);
